Image Quality and System requirements
Image quality settings and benchmark system
We use a run with Ultra image quality settings for this game, the highest possible quality mode. Hitman III is based on IO Interactive's in-house Glacier that now solely relies on DirectX 12 as an API. Once you start the game, you can look at the extensive options menu. You can however also use the handy setup GUI which I find to be far more convenient:
You can flick everything open for this game. Even the modest graphics cards will perform well on the Glacier engine. Also, handy, included is a benchmark sequence. The Dubai scene is performing really close to the actual game performance. Above our settings used. We also applied VRS for the cards that support it.
Test environment (system specification)
Our graphics card test system is based on a sixteen-core AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor on the X570 chipset platform. We use Windows 10 all patched up. Each graphics card runs on the same PC with the same operating system clone.
